Takeuchi and I met last Sunday at Cafe Zenon in Kichijoji to talk about all things Skull Toys.

A: When did you start making toys?
T: I started making toys 5 or 6 years ago.

A: Your first toy…
T: The first toy I bought?

A: Sure. What was the first toy you bought as a child?
T: The first toy I bought was…when I was a child, I liked toys like Zoids. As far as the first toy I made, it was this (Dokurocks Suit).

A: What color was the first one?
T: Pink, no paint. I released it at a character convention that’s no longer around.

A: Why did you start making toys?

T: Of course, I like toys. Absolutely. Before, I did a lot of illustrating. I stopped for a while, but I picked it back up again around the time I started making toys. I started drawing again, and wanted to design my own toys.
